Importance of Cron Jobs in Dedicated Server

In dedicated server
hosting your backups, updates, security mechanisms and other tasks are all self-
managed. Although these daily tasks do not take much time but still repetitive
nature of these tasks and manual involvement of yours, consume that precious
time which you can spend on other tedious tasks.

So in order to meet
business challenges and face competition, you need to cut down this time to few
minutes. How? By automating or scheduling important tasks.

manage time and resources better and in an efficient manner.

execute recurring tasks, automatically on specified time interval -day, month and
week.

But remember,cron executes the scheduled task,
only when the system is on.
